line

0The sentence below is from a review of the movie 01i00Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix02i00.02br
01span00(Dolores Umbridge)Her smile is as tight as her perm; and those little blue Miss Tiggy-Winkle eyes, twinkling as she comes out with yet another 01font00line02font00 in refined sadism, is enough to make any fourteen-year-old sign up for the revolution.02span02br
00What does 01i00"line"02i00 mean in this sentence? There are too many definitions out there. Is it 01i00"a remark"02i00?02br
00btw, 01i00"sign up"02i00 here means children buy the tickets, and go to see this movie, right? 02br
00Thank you. 0-
